hey everyone. i hope your life is swell.

ryan's back! kerry kicked lots of ass and now he's going to have a job and shit and also he's in the best mood ever... but its frightening, cuz he's a tad bit obsessive. i mean, ryan? who woulda thunk it?

semester is off to a rockin start. i've had 2 days of classes (M and W... its nice, in case you were wondering). i've missed 2 classes out of a total of 6. i slept through my first one on wednesday, and then i got late to the second one on wednesday and the room was jam-packed and lecture had started already so i just left. we needed to get some liquid plumber for the tub anyways, so i just went off to target.

is that weird?

should be a nice weekend coming up, i guess. i'm running on very very little sleep right now, like i'd say 3.5 hours if i was feeling generous. usually anything less than 10 hours leaves me kind of groggy, so... yeah. luckily my boss took the day off and i hate my current project cuz it doesn't work as it should so i might take off slightly early. oh well?

so right now i'm just waiting for geoff to wake up so i can bother him. spring break shit with him is finalized, i'll be down in winter haven checking out indians spring training and all their sweet young talent that will make us a playoff contender sooner than anyone thinks... mmm... well anyone other than me, i guess. hehe.

i've resolved some stuff with girls. i think. i dunno, despite crazy girl things going on, and just general craziness, i definitely know that i'm not the same nivvles that was around freshman year going crazy and writing insanely hilarious slash bitingly mean things. i mean, i could write those things, but i'm in a different place. i'm pretty sure i can handle almost anything at this point. i said almost.

so, thus far, biggest surprise of the semester has to be phil's performance. i mean, no one could have seen this coming. it's kinda like the improvement in the daily show when jon stewart took over for kilborn, if that makes sense (geoff gets it). i just hope it keeps up all this semester, cuz its incredibly fun right now. you hear that phil? it's fucking fun!

finally, just so everyone knows, the new incubus cd elicits two responses from me (exactly two.):

1a) it's fucking good
2b) it's pretty ballsy, because it doesn't sound like any other incubus cd at all. they totally just went in a new direction, and usually when bands do that they alienate their original fan base and don't really attract the new fans cuz its really hard to overcome 3-4 albums of preconceptions with one album thats totally different, if you know what i mean. this is all very unfortunate, because of 1a - i hope people like this incubus... i'm going to see what rolling stone has up for their review...

well some user gave it a 4.5, which is probably near what i'd give it, if i was constrained by some sort of 5 star system. since i am not, i'll give it 7 tamales. out of what? out of fuck you.
